As a student, I did no prep for the ACT and got a 28 and 29, sophomore and junior year, respectively. I didn’t study for the SAT and received a 1770. I decided to study for the SAT in an effort to reach 2000, and by doing so, I received a 1920. Two Saturdays ago I took the ACT and I felt like I knew more information than ever before. While multiple variables exist such as it being my third time taking the test, I really believe the SAT prep helped me perform better on the ACT.
